    There's no such thing as the "war on women"

    Muhammad ibn Abd'Wahhab

    These kinds of renewal movements occur in all faiths, the problem is that they become the 'new orthodoxy' for those who follow them, they invest so much time and effort into being the perfect Wahabbi or whatever that they simply cannot allow others any kind of legitimacy because it devalues...
